### Project A80 — Autonomous Cyber Advanced Technology

This project demonstrates defense capabilities against adversarial attacks using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to evade detection and deceive the automated technologies supporting the network's defensive cyber posture.. This project will provide defensive cyber operations (DCO) software tools for multi-domain operations and enable tactical network cyber defenders with machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. This project matures and demonstrates RF-enabled cyber approaches to Disrupt, Deny, Degrade, Destroy and Manipulate (D4M) adversary C2ISR systems and capabilities. Furthermore, in full alignment with ARCYBER "reprogrammability" efforts, field-based exercises will focus on demonstrating new methodologies for the development of EW/OCO effects that are more readily implemented, upgradable and portable across different Army platforms. Work in this project complements Program Element (PE) 0602276A (Electronic Warfare Cyber Applied Research) / Project A79 (Autonomous Cyber Technology). Work in this project is performed by the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Predictive Intelligent Networking - Cyber | — | 3.6 | 3.6 |
| Tactical Hardening for Quantum | — | 5.8 | 4.8 |
| RF Enabled Offensive Effects Advanced Technology | — | 5.9 | 6.9 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

This Program Element (PE) matures and demonstrates architectures, technologies, techniques, components, and tools to enhance Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) for Multi-Domain Joint Operations in tactical environments. These efforts aim to counter the adversary's Command, Control, Computing, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Targeting (C-C5ISR&T) capabilities and plan, target, execute Cyber effects through the employment of non-traditional access and effect vectors against adversarial systems, communication networks, and decision centers to reduce the adversary's ability to execute command and control of its forces.
